Your argument blaming the greedy copyright owner is false. The copyright owner only makes a complaint to the courts for perceived injuries. Anyone who is injured by someone publishing content (libel, obscenity, and copyrights violation are just a few) has the right to petition the courts for justice.

The guilt or innocence of the alleged copyright violator is in the hands of the judge and jury; not the copyright's owner or creator.

Disagreements will always occur and be settled by the courts using the principle of stare decisis, i.e. prior decisions.

The prior decisions are to be used as a guide for content users to ascertain that which is probably legal and that which is not.

If pirates don't get greedy, they probably won't be found guilty.

But then, we know pirates; and, they are all about the 'gold'.

Just my opinion.
